Long and short terminal lugs are installed in alternate slots formed in the connector housing. Each terminal lug consists of an electrical contact portion and a wire connecting portion connected together through an intermediate link portion. The wire connecting portion is larger in width than the electrical contact portion. The wire connecting portions of the long terminal lugs and those of the short terminal lugs are staggered from each other in the axial direction. The long terminal lugs each have a depressed intermediate link portion so that the wire connecting portions of the adjacent short terminal lugs positioned by the side of the depressed intermediate links of the long terminal lugs are given sufficient space and are not interfered with by the wire connecting portions of the adjacent long terminal lugs as in the conventional connectors. This construction allows reduction in the size of the connector housing.
